The blog is back -- California can vote for high speed rail in 40-some days

Apparently, we took the summer off from blogging.

Now we're back. Did you miss us?

If so, perhaps you'd like to join us. We are always looking for more bloggers to share their thoughts and links on this ongoing conversation about high speed rail in the United States.

In the meantime, the big news is that California voters have the best opportunity in the nation to implement high speed rail. 220 miles per hour. Electric-powered. Under three hours between L.A. and San Francisco. Saving billions in airport runways and highway expansions that won't be necessary.

It's Proposition 1A and if you know anyone in California, please tell them to vote yes. If you live in California, please vote yes.

And to tell use our nifty email-a-friend feature to tell anyone you know in California to vote for Proposition 1A, just check out our website here: www.MidwestHSR.org/California
